High Transaction Throughput

Definition

High transaction throughput refers to a blockchain network’s capacity to process a large volume of transactions per second. This metric is a key indicator of a blockchain’s efficiency and scalability, directly affecting its ability to support widespread adoption of decentralized applications and digital assets. Networks achieving high throughput can handle numerous concurrent operations without significant delays or increased transaction costs. Various architectural solutions, including sharding and layer-2 scaling, are employed to enhance this capability.
